About this detail

A photovoltaic support post mounts onto a sloped structural steel beam via a one-inch plate secured with four seven-eighths-inch A325 bolts and features a galvanized quarter-inch cap plate. The supporting beam includes a half-inch diagonal plate whose top aligns with the top of the steel, supported by three-eighths-inch full-height stiffeners centered on the diagonal plate and three-eighths-inch stiffeners on each side of the web welded with quarter-inch welds on three sides. The assembly is designed for ultimate horizontal loads of 3,500 pounds in the X direction and 3,000 pounds in the Y direction.
